³ for this is the love of God, that His commands we may keep, and His commands are not burdensome;

¹⁵ `If ye love me, my commands keep,

⁶ and this is the love, that we may walk according to His commands; this is the command, even as ye did hear from the beginning, that in it ye may walk,

¹⁰ if my commandments ye may keep, ye shall remain in my love, according as I the commands of my Father have kept, and do remain in His love;

²¹ he who is having my commands, and is keeping them, that one it is who is loving me, and he who is loving me shall be loved by my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.'

²² Judas saith to him, (not the Iscariot), `Sir, what hath come to pass, that to us thou are about to manifest thyself, and not to the world?'

²³ Jesus answered and said to him, `If any one may love me, my word he will keep, and my Father will love him, and unto him we will come, and abode with him we will make;

²⁴ he who is not loving me, my words doth not keep; and the word that ye hear is not mine, but the Father's who sent me.

³ and in this we know that we have known him, if his commands we may keep;

²² for I delight in the law of God according to the inward man,

¹⁰ because this `is' the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel, after those days, saith the Lord, giving My laws into their mind, and upon their hearts I will write them, and I will be to them for a God, and they shall be to Me for a people;

¹² so that the law, indeed, `is' holy, and the command holy, and righteous, and good.

¹⁴ ye are my friends, if ye may do whatever I command you;

⁴⁶ And while he was yet speaking to the multitudes, lo, his mother and brethren had stood without, seeking to speak to him,

⁴⁷ and one said to him, `Lo, thy mother and thy brethren do stand without, seeking to speak to thee.'

⁴⁸ And he answering said to him who spake to him, `Who is my mother? and who are my brethren?'

⁴⁹ And having stretched forth his hand toward his disciples, he said, `Lo, my mother and my brethren!

⁵⁰ for whoever may do the will of my Father who is in the heavens, he is my brother, and sister, and mother.'

²⁸ `Come unto me, all ye labouring and burdened ones, and I will give you rest,

²⁹ take up my yoke upon you, and learn from me, because I am meek and humble in heart, and ye shall find rest to your souls,

³⁰ for my yoke `is' easy, and my burden is light.'

⁸ He hath declared to thee, O man, what `is' good; Yea, what is Jehovah requiring of thee, Except -- to do judgment, and love kindness, And lowly to walk with thy God?

⁴ And I pray to Jehovah my God, and confess, and say: `I beseech Thee, O Lord God, the great and the fearful, keeping the covenant and the kindness to those loving Him, and to those keeping His commands;

⁶ and doing kindness to thousands, of those loving Me and keeping My commands.

¹⁰ and doing kindness to thousands, to those loving Me, and to those keeping My commands.

⁹ `And thou hast known that Jehovah thy God He `is' God, the faithful God, keeping the covenant, and the kindness, to those loving Him, and to those keeping His commands -- to a thousand generations,

¹² `And now, Israel, what is Jehovah thy God asking from thee, except to fear Jehovah thy God, to walk in all His ways, and to love Him, and to serve Jehovah thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul,

¹³ to keep the commands of Jehovah, and His statutes which I am commanding thee to-day, for good to thee?

⁷ The law of Jehovah `is' perfect, refreshing the soul, The testimonies of Jehovah `are' stedfast, Making wise the simple,

⁸ The precepts of Jehovah `are' upright, Rejoicing the heart, The command of Jehovah `is' pure, enlightening the eyes,

⁹ The fear of Jehovah `is' clean, standing to the age, The judgments of Jehovah `are' true, They have been righteous -- together.

¹⁰ They are more desirable than gold, Yea, than much fine gold; and sweeter than honey, Even liquid honey of the comb.

¹¹ Also -- Thy servant is warned by them, `In keeping them `is' a great reward.'

¹⁷ Her ways `are' ways of pleasantness, And all her paths `are' peace.

¹⁴⁰ Tried `is' thy saying exceedingly, And Thy servant hath loved it.

¹²⁷ Therefore I have loved Thy commands Above gold -- even fine gold.

¹²⁸ Therefore all my appointments I have declared wholly right, Every path of falsehood I have hated!

¹⁰³ How sweet to my palate hath been Thy saying, Above honey to my mouth.

¹⁰⁴ From Thy precepts I have understanding, Therefore I have hated every false path!

⁴⁷ And I delight myself in Thy commands, That I have loved,

⁴⁸ And I lift up my hands unto Thy commands, That I have loved, And I do meditate on Thy statutes!

⁴⁵ And I walk habitually in a broad place, For Thy precepts I have sought.
